Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
A patch has been released by Tejun Heo of the Linux Kernel development team for kernel bug 8784. This bug prevents the ata_piix module from properly recognizing ATA drives on some systems. On Ubuntu, this can cause a failure during the live and alternate install cd boot, or a boot failure on an installed system that is upgraded to a kernel using ata_piix instead of ide_piix. Unfortunately, the path will not be integrated into the kernel until 2.6.23. This issue affects many Ubuntu users who use intel motherboards and ATA or SATA disk drives. I have personally tested the patch against linux-source-

Hi,
I don't know where to post but I've got almost the same problem with a P5W-DH and a SATA disk drive.
I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy yesterday and after the upgrade, the system doesn't boot properly.
I got this kind of message : (initramfs) ata3.01 : failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40) right after grub list
I unpluged my SATA disk NEC and it finally works.
Are you designing this problem so I can patch my kernel ?
(I don't want to patch it if I don't have to)
Thanks
